A Prophet FROM ENGLAND.
He Says that France VIII Conquer
Germany, and that the Mfllen-
MUM VIII Begin in 1000.

Rev. M. Baxter has Just arrived from
England. He has come over to tell
Americans that they have got just
about thirteen years more in which to
be wicked and paint things red. and
then will come the fireworks. He is
the editor Of The London Christian
Herald and prophet.
A reporter had long conversation
with the prophet in his office in the
Bible house last evening, and the re-
porter has made up his mind to leave
off cigarettes, give up all his bad hab-
its and Join church, in hopes that he
will be ticketed through the millen-
mum that is to begin in 1900 and last
Cor thousand years.
Mr.. Baxter looks like prophet. He
has a full gray beard, a thoughtful eye
and brown wig
1T is a certain thing that there will
be great European war within three
or four years" said he.
How do you know" asked the re-
porter.
"Because in Daniels prophetic writ
ings and inlthe Book of Revelations 1t
states that ten years before the end
there will lie great war, and the Ro-
man empire b' restored TO the same
political divisions"
you base your prophecy on biblical
statements ENTIRELY, then?"
almost exclusively, though there
are other outside facts in perfect ac-
cordance with the main principles that
enter into it,"
"And how do you locate the date for
the end of The world?"
Not the end of the world, we don't
believe in that,-but the end of this
dspensation and the beginning OF the
millennium. 1t is simple enough
matter, ND one can help understand
ing it,-ana il is rs sure to be true rs
the bible itself. There are many things
that show The end will come in 1900
Perhaps the most simple and generally
accepted is the biblical statement that
as it took six days to make the world,
and there was q seventh day to rest,
the world will last for six days OF a
thousand years each and seventh day
of thousand years that shall be the
millennium. Chronological record
shows that there were just four thous-
and years, from Adam to the birth OF
Christ, so that in the year 1900 A. ID.
the time would be fulfilled"
What will be the nature of the Eu-
ropean war p
ut Is the war that is now brewing.
France will conquer Germany and ex-
tend her possessions TO the Rhyme. The
conflict will not be confined to these
two nations. however. 1t will be O
general European conflict as the TWEEN
ty-three countries which now exist
must be resolved into ten; the five IL
the western or Latin half being Britain
France, Spain. Italy. and Austria, ano
the five in the eastern OF Greek half be-
ing Greece. Egypt, Syria. Turkey. and
the Balkan states. They will be in one
confederation, and win be all king
doms, so that the republic of France
and Queen Victoria's reign have bu
little longer to run, you see. When
that war occurs it will be the fulfill
ment of the first great sign.

Just what sort Of government ireland

by the ten-toed immage of Daniel an'
the ten-horned goat. But then comes
